About this property

Peaceful Retreat, OBX Village Studio

A hidden gem, the quiet fishing village of Wanchese is tucked away on the southernmost tip of Roanoke Island. While conveniently located minutes from Jennette's Pier, the Roanoke Island Aquarium, and the Elizabethan Gardens, the Village offers visitors a truly authentic Outer Banks experience. Be sure to visit one of the Seafood Markets in Wanchese or grab at hot meal from one of the local eateries.

Built in 2020 natural light pours into the 500 sq.ft. coastal studio through oversized windows creating a bright, airy atmosphere. Designed for form and function, the thoughtfully appointed studio encompasses the entire second floor of a stand alone garage. It features a full kitchen with dishwasher, full bath, and stackable washer/dryer. Additionally, a starter kit is provided to guests with dishwasher tablets, a small tide detergent, paper towels, and toilet paper in addition to a few small snacks. In the pantry you’ll find a variety of K-cups and single brew coffee machine along with a toaster.

Throughout the studio guests have access to highspeed internet, the bedroom offers guests a restful nights sleep on a queen size Serta mattress with 100% cotton linens, the living room features a smart TV(guests are responsible for logging in/out of their own apps) and a breakfast table with seating for two. The studio design makes this an ideal space for a couples getaway.

Bring your essentials and let us take care of the rest, bed sheets, bath towels, beach towels, and two beach chairs are provided for your convenience. Guests will enjoy their own driveway with off-road parking for two vehicles and access the studio by private stairs and coded keyless entry.

We so enjoyed our stay here. It was the prefect home base for all the sightseeing we did.This place is immaculate and our host left us fresh chicken eggs from his chickens in the back yard which we thoroughly enjoyed while we were here. We named some of the chickens and loved sitting and watching them.It's very quiet and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Our host gave us access to his gym and backyard to enjoy and left us a booklet that added even more sights to our stay which we visited as well as restaurants that he recommended. We would come back here in a heartbeat!

What a wonderful space to relax and enjoy OBX without being right up in the hustle and bustle. The Host has created such a welcoming space with such attention to details. We enjoyed our anniversary weekend getaway. Looking forward to a return stay here next year to celebrate year 34! Well done! Thank you!

Best stay ever! Tyler the host is amazing. The little cottage feel of the studio was perfect. Located in a very peaceful and quiet fishing village. Tyler took care of everything we needed, checked in to find out if there was anything else that we could possibly need. The studio is cozy and truly feels like a little home away from home. The bed is super comfortable. Its the little details that matter. Tyler truly takes care of all of the little things that really matter and make youe vacation matter.

Perfect Long Weekend Getaway

Everything about our stay was perfect. This studio is close to the marina, great restaurants, and the beaches. It is also far enough away from the hustle and bustle to allow for a relaxing getaway. The studio itself is gorgeous, yet comfortable, and Tyler has included extra touches to make you feel right at home.

OBX Weekend

We were looking for a place to stay close to the Outer Banks, but still quiet. This studio apartment fit the bill just fine. It is 10-15 mins from the action, in an out-of-the-way neighborhood in Wanchese. The apartment was thoughtfully arranged, clean, and quiet. Plus, there's chickens next door to visit!

About the host

Hosted by Tyler Reber

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Tyler. A native to Roanoke Island, I grew up about 12 minutes from my current residence. I attended NC State University and obtained a BS in Park, Recreation, and Tourism Management. Tourism drives the economy here on the Outer Banks and I love sharing my passion for this unique sandbar with locals and visitors alike. I'm happy to provide a home away from home for our visitors and hope every stay is memorable.

What makes this property unique

The street is quite with minimal traffic and little light pollution. It's the perfect sanctuary after a long day at the beach and the star gazing is spectacular.
